Abstract: The aim of the article was to show the possibilities of using matrix calculus to determine the links and direct and indirect impact of selected sectoral intervention measures on agriculture. The reasoning was divided into four stages. The starting point, the first stage of the study, was mapping the links between intervention measures and agricultural production sectors. The article analysed nine different intervention instruments and four agricultural product sectors. In the second stage of the study, the share of each intervention measure in the production of a given sector was estimated. This allowed for the assessment of the impact of these measures on the sectors. The third stage of the study consisted in determining the direct and indirect effect of intervention measures on given agricultural production sectors. In the last stage, the share of the value of intervention measures in the value of commercial production in a given sector was assessed. The entire research process allowed for a quantitative assessment of the impact of intervention measures on agricultural production sectors. In terms of content, the following general conclusions can be drawn based on such an approach. First, horizontal income measures are of key importance in the context of income support in the sectors studied. Secondly, although the impact of individual actions on the sectors studied is considered individually as at most sufficient or insignificant, the combined impact of these actions on individual sectors is significant. Thirdly, there is a certain logical relationship in the formation of the map of the impact of actions on sectors. The most support is provided to sectors that are both sensitive to changes in the economic conditions of production and important for the ecological system of agricultural production, where returning to production may be more difficult, and support for resilience and stability is particularly needed.
